The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of `recipes` back into distant history, in truth as far back as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, in the main part, these old records were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. During Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents which described recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals were separated into starters, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also describes how the ancient cooks used many herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like basil, mint and parsley. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from Arab cooking, including basil and coriander. These new foods and tastes was responsible for an eruption in manuscripts on cooking, many of which still exist in private cookery archives. During the succeeding few centuries, the upper-class families of Europe tried to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipe collections could command a high salary. However, it was during the 19th century that cooking and recipe collections really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collating, verifying, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cooking books are starting to become popular mostly as a result of more people being able to read, more leisure time and a general increase in wealth. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
